Anyone here is allowed to insult or criticize me, even when I'm going through bad things like I was last year.
However, as I've stated many times before, if someone follows me around from thread to thread and repeatedly trolls me, I will eventually ban them. That's because it's no longer a free speech mater at that point, but rather targeted harassment, and that's the last thing I feel like dealing with on a forum I run for fun. The basic rule regarding this: If you are attempting to make my own experience on PFA miserable, you're not going to stay here.
So that's why Gookie was banned. I especially had little tolerance for it at the time, because I was going through those severe psychological problems, and the last thing I felt like having was a troll constantly insisting in every thread that I was faking it.
However, Gookie has since apologized for everything, and explained to me some of his own anxiety/depression struggles in life, which I believe. I also believe that his apology is sincere, and he regrets behaving that way.
Therefore, I'm putting in the past, moving on, and giving him another chance here. I'm guessing this won't repeat.
